Whilst monochrome is the trend of the moment, it can be surprisingly tricky to get right. The key is to find a balance and you can do this by adding in more soft tones and textures such as wooden accents, a fun wallpaper or contrasting prints.

white cot bed offers

The combination of subtle greys, soft pinks and white furniture is timeless and effortlessly stylish and ensures longevity.

Taking inspiration from the vintage wallpaper tree art, I have accented this with brighter pinks and lime greens to punctuate the scheme and add freshness.

Baskets, trays, cupboards with doors and drawers are all good options. I love the pink and mint features that stand out in this bedroom! This standard ensures that the cot is deep enough to be safe for your baby, that the bars are the correct distance apart, and that the cot does not have cut-outs or steps.

The cotton curtains, have a playful embroidered band across the bottom featuring cats and birds, adding interest and fun to the scheme and contrasting well with the brighter pink linen blind.

There is a useful mix of both open and closed storage. As a Mid Century design geek I love the simple wooden mobile hanging above the cot, the print of the wolf cub matches the earthy tones of the wood and cushion perfectly. I chose this image as it has a great balance of mature style with cute elements and I think a room like this could be easily adapted as the child grows up.

I love that the floors and walls are bright. I plan to use a light laminate floor like here and opt for light walls too, contrasting it by using colourful accessories. From the clean white walls that can be easily touched up when the toddler years start!

It also offers a useful storage solution for all those little things that constantly need tidying away. The only thing I would be looking to add is something hanging from the ceiling. Babies love to look up, so a mobile or a garland would be great above the cot.

I tend to always steer towards bright pastels and pattern for children, I think it brightens a room and makes them feel clean but cool at the same time.

The photo shows a beautiful bedroom for a little girl. I love how it is totally neutral whilst colourful — this room could happily be for a girl or boy of any age. Benji has a twin brother so I wanted to make sure when designing their rooms that their different personalities were expressed.

I also found out that Benji was interested in travel, the world, and had a very inquisitive mind. These two details were then the theme for my design.

To inspire his travel goals, I added a world map on one wall and commissioned a small hand painted compass mural on another wall. The bleached natural pine floorboards and tall white walls are a perfect canvas for those pretty vintage pieces and more colourful toys.

Quirky details such as the hat collection add fun, whilst the unexpectedly small and contrasting orange pendant adds punch to this calm monochrome scheme. Loft rooms are like a dream for most children — they are cosy, snug and a bit different.

With this lovely white backdrop you can create a calm and uncluttered space — the mixture of white, pink and blue accessories make the room so modern. You can decorate a room like this with slightly more nursery-like accessories to begin with and then up-style when your girl grows older.

This can see your child through from baby, towards secondary school age — saving a fortune in decorating costs. I love where the bed is placed in the corner by a large window too.

Three boys inhabit this small room; each has his own super cool platform bed suspended from ropes at differing levels, an individual wall light and artworks adorning their space. A colour palette of earthy grey looks wonderful teamed with natural wood and uplifting warm yellow.

Every bed is identically dressed in crisp white linen and highlighted with a textural grey blanket and accented yellow cushion. Each child has an equal portion of the room so sharing should be a joy and not a trial. In fact, I can quite imagine these boys enjoying bed swapping every night! I styled this bedroom in the autumn to bring a fresh, bright and happy feel to the room.

I made sure that a cosy feel is maintained, with the soft throw on the bed for bedtime tucking in and the cushion for casual lounging. Everything is positioned conveniently, such as the comforting bedside light, an accessible bedside table for his drink and storage below his table for toys.

Next to his bed is a laundry bag which encourages tidiness. To the right of his bed is a large shelf of favourite books, recently converted to his workspace. To the left of his bed is an empty area for running around with friends. Image courtesy of Gerladine Tan. Image courtesy of Petite Interior co.

I love the pink and mint features that stand out in this bedroom! Next, the wall stickers are a great addition. They are easier, quicker and cheaper to use than wallpaper.

Little dots, triangles or clouds are just some of the many choices available. Making storage fun is also important by using cleverly shaped side tables and shelves.

The house-shaped shelf used as a side table here is a great example. Cool prints to hang on the wall using washi tape. Adopt a minimal colour palette: A must to achieve the perfect Scandinavian look! The basis of the room is classic stars and stripes, which means we can mix up the accessories as his tastes change. Taking inspiration from our travels around America and their comic book stores we used bright red as an accent colour against greys and whites.

Comic covers from our special dates; birthdays, anniversaries etc. Super storage solutions hide all manner of clutter and provide a great display area for favourite toys and books. Make storage practical, accessible and easy to use, so that children have a place where everything goes.

Encourage children to have an input into the colour scheme or theme, if they buy into the idea of the room from the start and have a hand in how it is planned and arranged, then they are more likely to take pride in keeping it organised and tidy. Baskets, trays, cupboards with doors and drawers are all good options.

If you have the luxury of space then try to keep storage to the outer edges of the room so that children have a clearly identifiable place in which to play. Room to play in a free and unstructured way allows children to be more imaginative in their learning. We are in the school-boy phase at the moment with my son so we wanted to create a bedroom for him that showcased his personality as much as his age. We chose a daybed here with underneath drawer storage for his clothes and a pull out bed to turn it into a double bed, if he had a sleepover.

We went for a red and navy theme with a London twist. This leaves more space for his toys and room to play. The easy to reach storage space makes it easy to tidy up and keep things in their place.

Plenty of floor space allows for freedom to move, play and imagine, and the bed frame creates a creative space within a space where dreams are made. The colours used are striking and pleasant and the warmth of the light enhance the colours and soften the geometric lines of the bed frame and the carpet.

Not only do the colours complement each other so well, but the room looks matched, even though it is for both sexes. The shelving is perfect for storing toys and books, and they can accessorize it with their own items.

I am drawn to the simplicity of the design, and contemporary style especially as we now live in a modern new build home. With a little inventiveness you can create the most wonderful spaces with unusual paint effects and bespoke joinery.

Use MDF to create a built in bed in the shape of a house or teepee, section off a corner for a reading area in the shape of a castle or make the most of a tall ceiling with a mezzanine, as in the image above.

Children love to have their own special space and creating a reading nook or hiding space allows them to escape into their own magical world.

In the past I have designed rooms with tented ceilings, trampoline floors and a bed made from silver birch branches decorated with fairy lights. Go on — have some fun!

During installation, Jaeden who was 3 at the time, learnt what a hexagon was.

The book ledges are great for easy access to his books. The room is practical with a trundle bed for future sleepovers. It has the quirky Kartell Componibili storage which acts as a bedside table. I love this room because it works just as well for girls as it does for boys. The hip industrial vibe is den-like and softened with tactile furs, comforting checks and a cosy rug. Extra twinkling lights at ceiling height add a bit of fairytale magic and nobody grows out of sleeping under the stars, right?

Mini rock stars might prefer a cabin bed or bunks and some extra spots and stripes in the form of soft furnishings would provide the X factor for me. Here, I used a digital fabric design and combined it onto my favourite style of armchair. This would work equally well on any style of chair, sofa or interior furnishing!

She has a small room and I wanted to make the most of the space and decorate it in a way that would see her through her pre-teen years. This picture inspired me when I was putting her room together. I love that there is a place of everything but it still looks stylish AND lived in. The monochrome styling mixed with the pops of colour and a few kitsch accessories all work so well together.

And do we want to live in a soulless hotel? Turn convention on its head and experiment. For furniture, see what you can find in flea markets and slap a coat of paint over it, or rummage around in local auction houses. Brown furniture is still well-priced and besides, it is so much more fun for a child to be grabbing their clothes out of an old chest of drawers that has a story to tell, than an identikit piece, hot off the production lines from China.

The overall effect is much more personal and full of character, which is what makes a home your home.
